He should have been like Bill Clinton and "stared" down Republicans.

Clinton signed the repeal of Glass-Steagall and the Enron loophole, but hey, he "pursued confrontation."

Then along comes President Obama confusing progressive achievement with governing.

He revitalized the NLRB, resulting in major victories, and paved the way for the largest federal union organizing effort in history.

After all, it seems that FDR is the President held up most often to counter Obama's liberal credentials.

As it stands, President Obama's health plan not only included catastrophic care coverage (picked up for Kerry's 2004 plan), but it also extend free preventive health care to seniors, established a funded path to get to single payer and changed the MLR. List of provisions.
